Hello!
Thank you SO much TeachEarlyYears for this wonderful review!
REVIEW: DRAGONS LOVE UNDERPANTS
(Simon and Schuster, paperback, £7.99)
Following the sound advice, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” this is the eighth title in Claire Freedman and Ben Cort’s wildly popular series of books combining “characters kids adore” with “clothing that makes kids laugh”.
Dragons and underpants – really, what’s not to love? Here’s the thing, though: while it’s easy to raise a slightly cynical eyebrow at the repetition of a successful formula to this extent, the truth is, Dragons Love Underpants really does feel as fresh as Aliens Love Underpants did, back in 2007, and that’s because Freedman never short-changes her readers when it comes to the actual story.
Cort’s illustrations are full of hilarious detail, and the rhyming narrative is a joy to read aloud, as canny Princess Tilly comes up with a smart plan to stop a bunch of fire-breathing marauders harassing the kingdom and stealing villagers’ pants.
So, whether you have all seven previous titles or none of them, this is well worth adding to the mix.
